Mountain Golf

Tahoe Donner is one of the oldest championship golf courses in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The course winds through towering pines and offers stunning mountain views on nearly every hole. A great value option for groups looking for quality mountain golf near Truckee. The elevation at 6,000+ feet means your ball will fly farther — take that into account on club selection.

Course Perspective

Tahoe Donner Golf Course is one of the oldest golf championship golf courses in the Lake Tahoe Basin. It is a true challenge for any golfer and a lovely introduction to the sport for those just starting. It is truly a walk, or ride, through the forest. Accurate shot-making is always the order of the day, especially off the tee. We wish it was open longer each year, but it's elevation brings snow early, and it stay late into spring, so play the course from mid-June to late-September for the best conditions.

Acclaimed as one of the finest par 4s in the Sierra Nevada. Massive elevation change off the tee gives way to an approach framed by granite boulders and mature Jeffrey pines, with the consistently excellent bentgrass green regarded as best-in-class at altitude.
